I got a leak from this tiny hose going into the engine. It branches off of the main coolant pipe and connects right under the supercharger intake.
See the pic? Above the top of the belt right under the intake tube - that brass colored inlet is leaking coolant.

What part is this, how do I order it?
Any guides for DIY repairs?
Anything I should know about this?

Thanks

 

It's an easy fix. Buy a kit with an upgrade metal elbow and new o-ring and holder. You push the outer ring in toward the water pump and then pull out the elbow from the water pump.

Can you direct me to a kit? EDIT: Either you didn't post the Amazon link or I didn't see it, but thanks.

 

SO is this compatible for a 2014 XJ?

 

Did you click on the link and look at the pictures with the comparability chart? Do you want me to buy it and come install it too? 🤣🤣🤣

 

Didn't see the compatibility chart, thanks again.

If you want to install it, I'm in Hawaii but the swim shouldn't be that bad, waves seem calm today. Try to make it here before dinner.

 

This is just the beginning of coolant repairs on your car. Yes you can fix them one at a time and keep going back in to repair things as they fail one by one. Or you can plan to do it all at once and have a reliable car.

Use the search function on this forum and see what comes up? Coolant leaks are the weak spot in these cars and the number one failure point. You will be well advised to plan on replacing ALL the failure prone plastic cooling parts. We are lucky as there are now metal versions for a number of parts. These are well worth installing and easy to get.

BUT the important question? Can you DIY any of this? Again we have many threads on doing this if you can DIY the repairs.
If not I hope you have enough money.

So is there a guide on how to replace the elbow pipe? Do I have to drain the coolant first or just pull it out and put the new one in? Already checked what I could of the previous posts.

Big thanks again for the link to the elbow.

 

There are guides for replacement of these pipes all over Youtube and the factory service manual (linked in the stickies) also details this. It's not difficult, just time consuming.

 

This company sells coolant upgrade kits. I'm running one on my 2015 XJR for about 10,000 miles now.

But fixing the coolant system isn't as simple as changing a battery. Plan to commit a FULL day, if not two, to the job of over-hauling the coolant system.

 

You need to replace ALL the failure prone plastic NOW. You got your warning with that first tiny failure. Ignore that and you will end up with a major failure.
Your working on borrowed time.

Great link, thanks.

 

Stickies are providing me with dead links to the manuals...
